This resolution amends a concession agreement with WH Smith DEN LLC, operating as River North News, to extend the agreement by two years, setting a new end date of January 17, 2033. The extension is granted due to increased costs encountered in designing and building the concession at Denver International Airport (DEN). The amendment will allow the concessionaire to amortize their investment by accounting for the increased capital costs. There is no change to the original agreement amount. The project aims to add new concession opportunities at DEN to meet future passenger demands and enhance the customer experience. The contract involves updating various provisions to align with current concession standards and regulatory compliance. Subcontractors will include Innovative Retail Group, LLC (20% participation) and M2 Concepts, LLC (10% participation) to meet ACDBE goals.
